Struggling why focus isn't working when working with camera manipulation

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

I’m currently experimenting and learning about camera manipulation, but I can’t seem to get the ‘Focus’ working on the last part of the script. I have tweened the camera into position, but when the camera moves it also turns, which I do not want it to do. More will be explained in the script and the video below.

Here is a screenshot how everything is positioned in the workspace: https://gyazo.com/37388790fb8436ba6bc52102358ee918

Here is a small video of what is happening to the camera: https://gyazo.com/f034c5dfeab7f7355ad74334a4792e49

I don’t want the camera to turn as you can see in the video, but instead same the same way that it is currently.

Below is the script I am currently using:

-- Variables 
local Camera = game.Workspace.Camera
local CameraStart = game.Workspace.CameraStart
local CameraEnd = game.Workspace.CameraEnd
local Block = game.Workspace.Block

local Info = TweenInfo.new(
   3,							-- length
   Enum.EasingStyle.Linear,	-- style
   Enum.EasingDirection.In,	-- direction
   0,							-- repeat
   false,						--reverse				
   0							--delay
)

local Goals = 
{
   CFrame = CameraEnd.CFrame;
   Focus = Block.CFrame -- This is the main part that I am not too sure about, I'm not sure if the focus is working correctly.
}

local MoveCamera = TweenService:Create(Camera, Info, Goals)

-- Move camera
wait(3)

Camera.CameraType = "Scriptable"
Camera.CFrame = CameraStart.CFrame

wait(0.5)
MoveCamera:Play()

I hope that I can find an answer to my solution soon, thanks for anyone who helps!

Focus has nothing to do with this at all - this property determines the area where the graphics engine will prioritise graphical operations, such as the lighting and rendering Point/Spot/Surface Lights

This problem is happening because the ending part is rotated, so you should check the orientation for that and change the orientation to 0,0,0 or whatever is CameraStart’s orientation.

Alternatively, you can just tween it to its position, ignoring the difference in orientation:

local Goals = 
{
    CFrame = CFrame.new(CameraEnd.Position);
    Focus = CFrame.new(CameraEnd.Position);
}
